At the airport before we left.
A couple of weird things about Holland:
- Sometimes there is no clear distinction between the road, the cycling lane and the walkway. Its all paved. So sometimes we find ourselves walking on the cycling lane/road and have to siam (get-outta-the-way) when we suddenly see a bicycle/vehicle heading towards us.
- The toilet and the bathroom are separate. And the toilet is one small room with nothing else but. So after you do your business, you'll be using your dirty hands to touch the light switch and door handle. Then you have to go outside, (using your dirty hands) turn on the bathroom switch and wash your hands. Hmm.
Today we went to the open market near where I live. Its quite like the pasar malam back home in Singapore and Brunei. Its there every Saturday. Here are some pictures.
Where do mushrooms come from? Rocks?!
Pretty, pretty flowers!
Chocolates! Glorious, glorious chocolates! Me and Yixian about 200g (about 12 pcs) for Eur 3.
And I actually saw one stall selling (what I think is) weed! Cool, huh! Its like rolls of thin-looking-cigars. But didn't take a picture of that or saw how much it was. Maybe next week.
And finally (for now), here's a picture of my room. You know its REAL small if I can take the whole room in one shot!
And hell, I just realised that I paid about Eur 40-50 more than what they told me earlier. The others are paying about Eur 270-280 for rooms that are 3-4 times my size and closer to town and uni but I have to pay about the same for this puny room?! Not fair!! Will go to the office on Tuesday to argue my way.
Stay tuned!
